The Federal Government has announced Monday May 2 and Tuesday May 3, as public holidays to mark the 2022 Workers Day and Eidel-Fitr celebrations.
This was announced by the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola who made the declaration on behalf of the Federal Government.
In a statement by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Interior, Dr Shuaib Belgore, on Thursday in Abuja, the minister congratulated workers across the country on their celebration.
“Labour is the very essence of humanity. We are alive because we work and only the dead is incapable of working.”
“It is productivity that leads to satisfactory provision of goods and services and wealth creation.
“It is, therefore, the path to national and individual prosperity.”
He called on workers to raise the bar of their trade in line with the President Muhammadu Buhari led administration’s drive.
The minister on the other hand congratulated all Muslims for the successful completion of the Holy month of Ramadan.
“The self-restrain, self-denial, sacrifice and deep spiritual consciousness that accompanied the fasting period should not end but be maintained and improved upon, to be a better person and true worshipper,” he added.
Jonathan should just go home and rest. He should not allow himself to be used to scuttle the nation he worked so hard to preserve.
